In one of the most jaw-dropping performances RAF has seen in its almost exactly one year of existence, Henry Cejudo finally scored his revenge on Merab Dvalishvili, needing just 36 seconds to pin the Georgian athlete.
“Merab is a machine,” Cejudo said in his post-fight interview. “I took the L from him but this time around, I went and got this victory.”
Cejudo got off to a quick start, grabbing at the ankle and scoring a takedown for four points. But mere seconds later, the bout was done, as Cejudo got into side control and pinned Dvalishvili’s shoulders to the mat.
Cejudo had lost to Dvalishvili twice previously, losing to him in MMA at UFC 298 and suffering a come-from-behind defeat to him very recently at RAF Georgia.
Cejudo called out Cody Garbrandt following his victory tonight.
